Halfmoon man facing felony DWI charge

HALFMOON >> A Halfmoon man is facing a felony driving while intoxicated charge after he was arrested by State Police Monday.

Michael W. Snide, 39, of Ballston Lake, was arrested at 7:45 p.m. after State Police say he was observed running a red light with his 2006 Chevrolet Silverado at the intersection of State Route 9 and Fire Road in Halfmoon. Snide was found to be intoxicated, troopers reported, and a breath test at the Clifton Park State Police Barracks showed Snide’s BAC to be .16 percent, which is double the legal limit.

Because of a prior DWI conviction, Snide was charged with felony DWI. He is due to appear in Halfmoon Town Court on June 19 at 5:30 p.m. to answer the charge.
